President Trump isn’t getting home cooking from New York State voters — two-thirds are giving his White House tenure a thumbs down, a new survey reveals.
Just 29 percent of registered voters in his home-state say they have a “favorable” opinion of him, compared to 66 percent who view him unfavorably — the lowest ratings of his presidency, according to the Siena College poll released Wednesday.
Three-quarters of New Yorkers gave him a negative job review, with 59 percent saying he’s doing a “poor” job. Only 22 percent rated his performance good or excellent.
And 62 percent of state voters said the country is heading in the wrong direction under his presidency, compared to 27 percent who say it’s headed in the right direction.
“New Yorkers are viewing the Queens-born president more negatively than they have any time since he took office,” said Siena pollster Steven Greenberg. “While he continues to be viewed unfavorably by more than 80 percent of Democrats, Trump’s favorability rating with Republicans (61-33 percent) – while still strongly positive – is down by a net 20 points since July.”
The president’s rating on race relations was even worse, with 85 percent of respondents giving Trump a negative grade when queried last week.
In particular, half of New York voters gave Trump an ‘F’ for his handling of the violent protests over Confederate monuments in Charlottesville. A neo-Nazi was charged with killing one of the protesters.
Meanwhile, 59 percent of New Yorkers think Confederate monuments should remain, while 35 percent said they should be removed.
More than 80 percent of Republicans and two-thirds of Democrats said the monuments should stay up. But Democrats, by a 51-42 margin, said they should come down.
New Yorkers were more divided on whether permits for neo-Nazis and white nationalist should be allowed.
About half of those polled said the hate groups should be prevented from obtaining permits to rally, while just 45 percent believe they should be able to obtain permits.
